Here is a quick
inspired painting I created (for a time-lapse painting video) of Effie
Trinket with a custom Mockingjay look I created for her. While I always
enjoyed her crazy and fabulous Capitol looks, for this painting
I wanted to create a darker look to show her likely support for the
uprising. The blood splatter across her face symbolizes both the
uprising as well as the part she played as a propaganda tool for the
Capitol in the annual Hunger Games. Since I do love her colorful looks
too, however, I may consider doing another, and much lighter painting of
her in the future as well. We probably won't see her looking anything
like this in the film but I thought it would be interesting to create a
look like this for her. Really enjoyed Mockinjay but wow
it's going to be hard to wait for part 2 now. Definitely as great as the
other two films but much darker.

I apologize for all of the zooming in and out throughout the video, I
zoom in and out a lot during my workflow and editing all of this out
would be a nightmare for me.
